| 1242296 | 2011-11-06 23:37:00 | Hi guys, looking at a 3G stick for mobile gaming, but I need to know if it has the ping times I need. I notice telecom has 3 different sticks, an entry level, a mid range and a performance model. I don't mind going for the performance model, but would it get lower pings than the other two? What ping times do you get with 3g broadband? |

| 1242297 | 2011-11-07 00:28:00 | It's somewhat variable, depending on which cell site you're currently connected to etc. My own phone is with Vodafone and for work we use Telecom. Depending on where I am / how it's feeling my ping times from the laptop to our data centre (Auckland CBD) can vary from ~80ms to ~300ms for both the XT stick and my phone as a modem. Usually toward the upper end of that spectrum. I would say average ping is 200ish. It doesn't seem to necessarily vary with signal/bandwidth either. We use the MF181 which is the cheaper of the Telecom 3G sticks. | inphinity (7274) | ||
